When not singing at Calvary Church, what makes up your current life and pursuits (including hobbies or other interests)?
I spend a lot of time at the high school where I work directing three Jr. High Choirs, three High School Choirs, and also the theatrical productions. We do a fall play and spring musical every year. In the summers when I am off, I enjoy being outside (running, kayaking, golfing, going to the pool). I also enjoy cooking, reading, and going to breweries and trying new craft brews!
Where was your birthplace?
Shelby, Ohio
Do you have a particular memorable highlight or two from your time at Calvary Church?

If you could take an item of yours to the Antiques Roadshow, what would it be?
